This fight is a 99% done deal:deal Danny is going to fight on the undercard of the Lacey rjj bout august 22nd. I just hope RJJ doesn't run into Jeffs left hook:hey If all goes to plan the fight will take place in Melbourne late november .
Roy really is taking the easy road these days for the money (and u can't blame him i suppose).............. He'll easily outpoint both Lacy and Green.
Hey leftjab, wasn't Green/Adamek a 100% deal before, as well as Green Tarver? Your sources are **** mate, no offence, and even if both parties are in agreement, I could quite easily see Jones opting to go another way before November, and I could also Green opting out of it as well.
all will not go to plan,fight will not happen,you will keep your cronulla sutherland like streak of getting **** wrong.if this fight happens i will leave the forum.i dont expect you to take me up on this bet as like your mate shiner,you will dog it anyway.
I could see Roy losing too...he is absolute toast. Truth be told he is still a somewhat capable figther but a mere shell of his best. Jeff is pretty shopworn himself though...This fight is a little intriguing giving there level of shitness these days but I wont be watching it..it would be like two lame beasts going at it.
Sorry but can you please remind me what big fights Danny Green has had ? And don't say Mundine or an old Beyer, they are not big fights on the world stage of boxing. Green will fight another bum next up, guaranteed.
Other than diehard Roy Jones fans or Jeff Lacy fans (not sure there would be too many of these) i can't imagine many genuine boxing fans would have any interest whatsoever in watching the Jones-Lacy fight. It's totally pointless and Roy will win an easy decision 119-109 or 118-110 or thereabouts. Jeff Lacy is absolute **** these days, he would struggle to beat journeymen.Surely these two are not getting paid too much for the fight because i would have to wonder where the **** the money would come from to pay them.
Yeah, kind of like RJJ vs Trinidad - that was a farce too...surely RJJ has enough money now? WTF does he have to keep fighting for? He's gonna end up like his dogfighting buddy McLennan if he doesn't give it up soon.
Best case scenario...Roy all of a sudden wants to get the brand global before he is done, so his legacy is enhanced..and so he can probably travel around collecting better appearance fees for some time. He has talked about fighting Woods again in England, fighting Beyer in Germany ...and seemed pretty content to fight Joe in the UK if it was necessary. Worst case...he is your stereotypical nouveau riche rags to riches sportsman..and lets be frank Black sportsman..who as soon as he starts getting the green spends like crazy, gets a massive entourage who he pays for and who has no idea how to manage his finances. I wouldnt be suprised if he has sunk a **** load of cash into his shitty record label...Ive seen video of his opulence, he owns a whole heap of cars which of cause depreciate like hell. Maybe he owes a lot of tax...maybe he is totally broke..or maybe he is doing alright but just wants to keep the cheques coming in. Either way he shouldnt be fighting anymore....he is one of the biggest earners of his generation.
Somewhere...people still want to watch him fight...not as many now...but obviously enough. I dont know why though.
First of all he was never as good as people thought he was...Second after getting completely humiliated by Calzaghe, he looks mentally scarred.. Lastly having large chunks of time off due to a serious shoulder injury that he probably hasnt fully recovered from really has seen him degrade physically IMO. He really seems to gas very quickly these days. There are some who think he has not won a fight since 2005...He has labored to a couple of close (sometimes debatable) decision wins and was well beaten by Joe and Jermain Taylor in that time. He is probably less shot then Roy...but at the same time he was never as good as Jones was..not even close.
